RiskFirst Analytics creates sales team with FIVE key appointments

RiskFirst Analytics - the company launched in November 2009
and focused on measuring and managing defined benefit (DB) pensions
risk - has appointed a Head of Sales, a Vice President for Client
Solutions and has made three further sales-oriented
appointments.

Kim Lewin has joined the company as Head of Sales and will focus
on marketing RiskFirst Analytics' managed services to the
largest UK pension funds. Lewin joins from SumTotal Software, where
he had been Vice President of Sales for the EMEA region since
2007.

This is an exciting challenge given the uniqueness of our
web-based managed service - PFaroe - and the overwhelming support
from both investors and clients," says Lewin.

PFaroe is aimed at bringing new levels of precision to the
measurement and management of DB pensions risk. A unique DB risk
management platform, PFaroe combines liability and asset analytics
to provide fast, accurate and up-to-date scheme information for
pension fund sponsors, trustees and actuaries.

Lewin will report to Benjamin Reid, CEO of RiskFirst
Analytics.

"We are in the process of an ambitious roll-out for PFaroe to
major UK pension funds and are very encouraged by their initial
response," says Reid. "These new appointments will help us present
our industry-changing services to potential new customers."

A further appointment points to RiskFirst Analytics also
deepening the client experience. Matthew Bale joins the firm as
Vice President of Client Solutions - an actuarial role helping
clients gain a precise understanding of their pension scheme risk
profile and potential de-risking strategies. Prior to joining
RiskFirst Analytics, Bale spent three years at Citibank's
Insurance and Pensions Structured Solutions Group focusing on the
management of defined benefit pension risk.

There are three further additions to RiskFirst Analytics'
sales team. Charles Peach joins as a Vice President of Sales. He
previously worked for Nomura's managed products and exotic credit
trading business. In addition, Andy Hutt has joined as an Assistant
Vice President of Sales. Hutt has over 20 years in the IT sector -
his last position being as a sales manager for SumTotal UK. Ian
Crompton also joins RiskFirst Analytics as an Assistant Vice
President of Sales. He spent the previous two years in executive
sales for ID Support Services.

"The new line-up brings together a rare combination of talent,"
says Reid. "The breadth and depth of experience they bring from the
technology, pensions and capital markets sectors means the company
can offer clients a new and unique approach to defining and
managing the complex risks facing their pension schemes."

“RiskFirst’s platform clearly improved on our existing offering, and we were also impressed with their dedication to continually invest and innovate, which will support us from a technology standpoint.”
